Sukitte II Nayo First Impressions

Summary: Mei narrates her life, how she never had a boyfriend, or any friends. She doesn’t want to be hurt and be betrayed. On the other hand, Yamato, a popular guy shows no interest with the cute girls. In a chance encounter, she kicks him. He becomes curious about her. There’s a pedo who set his eyes on her during his part time in the bakery. In school, Mei does all she can to ignore Yamato. The pedo makes his move the following day. She gets frightened and ends up calling Yamato. He helps her out by kissing her in front of the pedo. Mei for the first time feels something different for the first time.

Thoughts: I initially thought this anime would be full of fluff and first love goodness. I’m beginning wondering if this has hidden darker tones. This totally caught me off guard since it was expecting cheesy stuff. I love Mei’s character so much. She’s like the anime version Seo Eun Gi of Nice Guy. She tries to come out as strong but seems rude to most people. She knows people would betray her so she needs nobody. I really want to see Yamato succeed in entering the deepest depths of her soul and bring back her optimism. I personally don’t like Yamato, he’s the second stereotype of a guy. You first have the cocky bastard, who’s actually a softie. Then you have people like Yamato who’s the perfect and kind guy. That spells out boring in the long run. Well hopefully they focus on Mei through this anime’s run.

No, it definitely won’t be the next big shoujo anime. With ZEXCS at the helm, there is not much hype to the show even with the manga being quite popular. A shoujo anime will pull paltry sales unless the manga is popular and the studio working on the anime has a good reputation.

Actually, the manga is a big hit. What I meant to imply was that because ZEXCS is working on the anime, that would mean that the anime would have low sales figures because shoujo anime need an established fanbase as well as a studio with a good reputation working on it. Even Kimi ni Todoke, which is a titan in the manga format, pulled above average sales as an anime, showing just how hard it is to generate a profit from them. I expect all three of the main shoujo from October to pull rather dismal sales.
